Which tool is best described as having a flat face used for riveting work?

• A. Disk grinder
• B. Riveting hammer
• C. Scriber
• D. Aviation snips

Answer: (B)

In riveting work you need a tool that can strike the rivet head cleanly and evenly without marring the surrounding metal. A riveting hammer is designed with a flat, broad face that lets you seat and form rivets by delivering controlled, square blows. This flat face prevents gouging and helps mushroom or set the rivet head properly as you peen the tail. The other tools don’t fit this purpose: a disk grinder is for material removal, a scriber marks lines, and aviation snips cut metal. So the tool best described as having a flat face used for riveting work is the riveting hammer.
